A congressional race that sounds like the plot of a crime movie is playing out in Staten Island, N.Y. Republican Congressman Michael Grimm went undercover as 'Mikey Suits' when he was an FBI agent. Now Grimm is the one facing a 20-count federal indictment. But despite the charges, Grimm stands a decent chance of being reelected next week.<p>Grimm's troubles began in January, when he threatened to throw a TV reporter off a balcony with the camera rolling. Grimm didn't like getting questions about a federal investigation into his finances.Thu, 30 Oct 2014 21:30:00 +0000Joel Rose26588 at http://mtpr.orgThe Campaign That Seems More Crime Drama Than Congressional RaceNew Mandatory Quarantines May Drive Away Ebola Volunteershttp://mtpr.org/post/new-mandatory-quarantines-may-drive-away-ebola-volunteers
